Correspondingly, do all KitchenAid mixers use the same attachments?
All KitchenAid stand mixer attachments are universal and will fit any KitchenAid stand mixer. All KitchenAid stand mixers feature a Multipurpose Attachment Hub that powers the attachments. By using the various attachments you are now able to expand the capabilities of your stand mixer.
Similarly, why are KitchenAid attachments so expensive? KitchenAid mixers have an orbital motion, which involves a more robust gear assembly, hence the higher cost. If you do not need orbital motion, you can find more inexpensive heavy duty "egg beaters". You might look into used Oster Kitchen Centers, which have many of the attachments and accessories that KitchenAid has.

What do KitchenAid model numbers mean?
KitchenAid model numbers follow a standard pattern. All the model numbers should begin with the letter "K" for obvious reasons. The next series of letters and numbers represent the name and the actual model of the appliance. The last two letters usually stand for color. "SS" means stainless steel.
